J-Drama - any recommendations?

[CodeGeek]

Hello everyone,

lately I have watched the following Japanese comedy dramas. Does anyone of you have any recommendations for some recently aired (but please already finished) series (also comedy)?

Oh, these are really old. And the only I've watched from that selection is GTO. It's also the only comedy, right?

I'm not really up on recent dramas, because I have a huge backlog to watch. But ones that I liked (relatively chronological)

There are better dramas than some of these but I stuck with comedy types. Atami no Sousakan and Kekkon Dekinai Otoko would be my pick of that list.

Older dramas I would recommend would be:
anything in the Trick line; http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Trick,
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Shomuni
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Long_Vacation

Now for a flat out comedy of the parody/farcical type try http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Yuusha_Yoshihiko_to_Maou_no_Shiro and the second season
Yuusha Yoshihiko to Akuryo no Kagi.

It's a Dragon Quest RPG parody that had me laughing quite often.

Thanks for the many recommendations. I'll have a look at them.
And I saw Kekkon Dekinai Otoko before. Really a good one. There is also a Korean adaption. But in my opinion the Japanese version is better. Maybe because I saw her first.

japanese dramas are pretty hit and miss, there is heaps of crap (i guess its true of anywhere) but you almost gte the feeling that they are all mimicing each other in terms of cinematography.
a few i have enjoyed are (im not going to go through and link to everything sorry)

odoru dai sousa sen
okane ga nai
kurokawa no techou
kareinaru ichizoku
shiroi kyotou
hero (season 1 only. there was no way keiko kitagawa would even come close to filling takako matsu's role and she did not fail to disappoint)
ashita ga aru sa
garireo
haken no hinkaku
change
bara no nai hanaya
kaseifu no mita
hanzawa naoki
mozu

Kinda old, but awesome, and should fit for comedy.

- akihabara @deep
- ikebukuro west gate park <- has some serious parts as well
- stand up
- my boss my hero

Thanks for the recommendations.
Saw "My boss my hero" long long ago. A good series, very funny.

I have to echo the thx. While I am not sure I either have the desire or the time to fit watching these into my schedule (have to ponder that) I did notice that the TV torrent section is completely empty. So if any of you download a torrent of a J-Drama please feel invited to share it there. I don't usually share torrents I don't download but perhaps I can find a few active torrents from your generous reccomendations and add to the forum. (Torrents are almost always commercial free!)

Diversity is the spice of life.
